AR500 Wear Resistance Steel Plate  

AR500 is a grade of abrasion resistant (AR) steel plate that is known for its hardness, toughness, and resistance to wear and tear. This grade has one of the highest levels of hardness out of the common AR steel plate grades - with a Brinell Hardness Number (BHN) of between 460-544 - and is typically used in high-wear and impact applications. AR500 steel plate meets ASTM E10 specifications for Brinell hardness testing. The hardness and toughness of AR500 steel plate make it extremely resistant to wear and impact. These properties make AR500 steel a durable, long-lasting material, which is crucial in applications that require materials that can withstand extreme wear. The durability of AR500 also means that the material needs to be replaced less often than materials that have lower resistance to abrasion, which can lower material costs and prevent devastating equipment failures. The high-carbon composition and additional chemical alloys included in AR500 steel give the material enhanc…
